RS PRO Heat Shrink Tubing, Black 18mm Sleeve Dia. x 3m Length 3:1 Ratio

RS Pro Flexible Polyolefin Heat Shrink Tubing, 3:1 Ratio

From RS Pro a range of high quality, easy to use general purpose heat shrink tubing made from flexible, flame retardant Polyolefin. This heat shrinkable tubing has a low shrink temperature of just 70°C (minimum) and a high shrink ratio of 3:1 which means it shrinks to a third of its original diameter and is ideal for covering irregular or awkward shapes
 

Flexible Polyolefin is a material derived from polyethylene and is one of the most commonly used insulating materials being both highly flexible, fast shrinking and durable. When heated this polyolefin tube shrinks radially to a third its original diameter hence the ratio of 3:1 Flexible Polyolefin tubing has the following properties:

• Very flexible
• High 3:1 shrinkage ratio, shrinks to a third of its original diameter, ideal for larger, irregular shapes
• Flame retardant (apart from transparent version)
• Operating temperature range of -55 to +135°C
• Low heat shrink temperature of 70°C (minimum)
• Minimum full recovery temperature: 110°C
• Excellent electrical insulation properties
• Resistant to common fluids and solvents
• Excellent abrasion resistance
